Lampley definitely takes the cake for a more exciting blow-by-blow commentator. His excitement is contagious and his voice suits this role better than Papa.

Longtime HBO blow-by-blow announcer Jim Lampley will again be heading both of the network’s boxing franchises, beginning with this Saturday’s broadcast of “Boxing After Dark” featuring light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson vs. Adonis Stevenson in the main event and a co-feature of Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Darley Perez, according to a network news release.

Damn I hate to see Papa go, I like his work. Jim is very annoying and bias towards the HBO boxers. Ugh

Lampley + Kellerman = everything great in sports. Lampley is the Marv
Albert of boxing. If only Malinaggi was on HBO, it would be the triumvirate.

lampley is the undisputed blow by blow GOAT!

More Lampley, just what the boxing world needs.

I love Lampley but I can't lie. Manny/Clottey. He lost me. Probably for good. he's a genius (not just boxing, all around) but since that fight i find myself noticing his errors more than enjoying his commentating.

hbo's got to get their hands on a long term replacement for lampley. i thoguht they were putting papa through finishing school. he wasn't going to be on lampley's level, but he would have been sufficient until a

i love the guy, but he's not going to be doing this for many more years. he looks great, but he is 64 years old. he's not a color guy, like merchant. he does the blow by blow. they are different animals. merchant use to f#cking fall asleep during boring fights. he has gathered the nickname "vodka breath." lampley's got to be the head of the entire broadcast, working constantly. that's a hard job.
